Fruits of Culture

Act III

Evening of the same day. The small drawing-room in LEOND FYDORITCH'S

house, where the sances are always held. LEOND FYDORITCH and the

PROFESSOR.

LEOND FYDORITCH. Well then, shall we risk a sance with our new

medium?

PROFESSOR. Yes, certainly. He is a powerful medium, there is no doubt

about it. And it is especially desirable that the sance should take

place to-day with the same people. Grossman will certainly respond to

the influence of the mediumistic energy, and then the connection and

identity of the different phenomena will be still more evident. You

will see then that, if the medium is as strong as he was just now,

Grossman will vibrate.

LEOND FYDORITCH. Then I will send for Simon and ask those who wish

to attend to come in.

PROFESSOR. Yes, all right! I will just jot down a few notes.
